No one, not even the IRS or your state can prevent anyone from entering someone as a dependent on their tax return.
Just e-file your tax return with the dependent entered. If the e-filed tax return is rejected because someone else used the Social Security number on their tax return you will have to print and mail the tax return.
The IRS will sort it out within a year by requesting information from both you and the other party to prove they can claim the dependent on the tax return. The losing party has to pay back any refund based on the dependent plus penalties and interest.
